questions

[twin apex]

tbh I would buy it if I could just play for like 2 years in beta

no way I am paying monthly sub

[stiff vortex]

How can I check if I got them?

[supple zenith]

How much EU serv will be open?

[ruby swift]

There is no monthly sub in EA testing. The sub time starts ticking down after live launch.

[ruby swift]

You can't currently. They will be awarded to those accounts that qualify later. They a bit busy atm.

[ruby swift]

3, more if needed

[nimble peak]

I don't have the option to link my Steam account on https://ashesofcreation.com/account/settings. Anyone facing the same issue?

[tribal solar]

You don't have to pay a sub fee during alpha and beta, only after release

[bright ravine]

You need to own the game

[silent robin]

I guess we have to deinstall the game which was previously installed via the launcher?

[ruby swift]

Do you own a package with previous testing access?

[ruby swift]

Yes, highly recommended.

[novel saddle]

@nimble peakit seem you don't own the game is why

[bright ravine]

Delete old files to avoid issues

[nimble peak]

@bright ravine but the Shop redirects me to Steam where I can't buy it

[twin apex]

question is how long will be alpha+beta 2 years? since paying monthly very expensive fee is no go

[bright ravine]

Yes, no preorders on EA titles

[ruby swift]

Patience. You have to wait for it to unlock, then do that step after buying.

[novel saddle]

game not out on steam yet 2 more hr

[tribal solar]

No idea, but I'd assume a year plus

[silent robin]

but there is no way to deinstall the game via the launcher? Just delete a folder or what?

[ruby swift]

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402749120787-How-to-uninstall-and-remove-all-files-for-Ashes-of-Creation-Alpha

[lyric vortex]

Steam policy does not allow for pre-order of early access titles.

[twin apex]

I would put my money into a bet it will go buy to play/ season pass route after 6-12 month after official release

[silent robin]

thanks

[tribal solar]

Then you have nothing to be afraid of I disagree though

[ruby swift]

We get it. You don't want to pay. Sadly you will have to if you want to play. If you have feedback about monetization, make sure to make a forum post.

[twin apex]

I will wait 10 years after release for private server :kek:

[ruby swift]

Good luck. Have fun.

[twin apex]

not like anyother pvp mmo will be release like ever

[remote token]

This isn't a pvp mmo though

[bright ravine]

Reminder that some mmos cannot be made into private servers due to proprietary server hardware design

[signal kelp]

Good morning, do you only receive permissions to chat in other channels after you purchase your key?

[stone berry]

anyone know when the client will be up on Steam?

[ruby swift]

Please keep this channel clear for Questions and Answers. If you want to discuss or banter, take it down to the other channels.

[ruby swift]

10am pst

[twin apex]

All I care about being able to kill someone whenever I want and make him lose something

[stone berry]

thx!

[bright ravine]

Have ypu tried mortal online?

[twin apex]

nope

[ruby swift]

Do #read-me-first but for the A2 channels, yes you will need a testing package. After launch and linking your account to Steam, that permission should generate automatically here.

[bright ravine]

Oh wait that has sub now too i think

[hollow crypt]

Sadly this isnt a great PvP MMO, Hopefully they have PvP servers on launch that dont punish so harshly for PvPing.

[foggy wraith]

This statement makes me think you haven't played the game at all

[twin apex]

pk is fine, in l2 as pk you could drop a main weapon even, it seems they got a lot from l2

[twilit meadow]

What time does the game release?

[digital light]

PvP debuff, IE Corruption, is and has been stated multiple times by the devs to be overtuned to help discourage rampant PvP getting in the way of testing. It'll be changed between now and full release.

[novel saddle]

2 hr

[hollow crypt]

Probably not as much as most, Played for a week or two, I remember the PvP and something around a timer or some debuff and stacking and reduce xp or something along the lines of that, wasnt a fan

[twin holly]

10am PST

[ruby swift]

10am pst. so 2.5 hours like chirs said

[ember crystal]

is the max level lvl 25? if yes, how many hours of gameplay nwould that take approx

[novel saddle]

my bad yes 2.5 hr on steam 🙂

[twin holly]

you can get to 25 in 2-3 days if you heavy grind , quicker even if you no life it. but after that its alot more time to get geared up and stuff

[digital light]

Max level in testing is 25, intended max level on release is 50.

[ruby swift]

1-10 is very fast, it slows way down after that. Different people get to max through different strategies and group dynamics. Last phase it was around 3 days for no lifers. Most took longer.

[unborn ridge]

Is there controller support?

[ember crystal]

thank you

[ruby swift]

Not currently, but will come eventually. Not a priority.

[twin apex]

we should hope there is not

my god people playing mmo with a controller, end of civilization

[novel saddle]

it will take me weeks/months maybe to hit 25 because I also level up skills as I go too to make silver

[unborn ridge]

Because someone playing on a controller would affect you how?

[ruby swift]

Please don't take the bait.

[unborn ridge]

Gotcha

[twin apex]

same as controller to play FPS, only uncultured normies do it

[deft loom]

Controller support killed Nw

[twin apex]

you have to destroy good mmo design to make controller work

[deft loom]

I saw your original message lycon 😂

[twin apex]

make it stupid so people with 8 buttons can play

[ancient cove]

Question: is there anyone players can pre download the game?

[deft loom]

No

[twin apex]

said the same, but changed "retar**** design to stupid same thing

[deft loom]

Steam don’t like pre downloads

I know lol

Your original hits harder

[river ore]

will the servers be a fresh start for those who purchase the game through steam

[deft loom]

Yes syzuki

[lyric vortex]

for everyone

[river ore]

cool thanks !!

[ruby swift]

They are fresh start for everyone

[river ore]

aight

[deft loom]

Unknown I keep quick glancing at your photo and i keep seeing Jared Goff

[lyric vortex]

it is not about pre download. Steam jsut dont allow for pre purchase and download of early access titles.

[spring dome]

how i can buy this game ? cant find nothing on steam

[ruby swift]

Look up Little Britain

[deft loom]

Yes it is

[novel saddle]

I would not rush the game if new just go slow and enjoy it and learn

[uncut quest]

quick question, after you get to level 10 do you become purple as standard? meaning your flagged for pvp all the time?

[ruby swift]

Unlocks in 2 hours 20

[violet cypress]

is there any reason to link my intrepid account with my steam account? i read that i'd need to re-buy the game anyway if i played through steam

[deft loom]

No

[ruby swift]

No

[uncut quest]

oh good thanks so much was worried about that

[uncut quest]

thanks bud

[bright ravine]

I play ffxiv on controller
Trust me you can get way more than 8 buttons xD

[normal ferry]

Will the Servers BE crashing at Launch?

[novel saddle]

no

[muted pike]

how is ping to NA servers from EU

[ruby swift]

You don't need to rebuy if you already had a testing package. Linking your Intrepid account to Steam is now required.

[lyric vortex]

No it is not, it is jsut about that Steam dont allow for pre purchase and download of early access titles. Any full release can have pre purchase AND download, if the developer allow it.

[novel saddle]

200-300 from what I have heard

[leaden sapphire]

bad, cant do large scale stuff

[muted pike]

oof, but EU will still be pretty populated right right

[nimble peak]

@bright ravine triggers + front buttons = 4 and for each 8 functions so 4x8 = 32 and ofc regular buttons are another 8, so at least 40 buttons in fact

[leaden sapphire]

ye, EU has some nice guilds

[ruby swift]

Plenty have played in previous testing in other regions. Like everything internet, someone else's experience may not be yours.

[hollow anvil]

Do i have to uninstall old version and reinstall from steam?

[novel saddle]

yes

[supple zenith]

We will predownload game? or w8 for start?

[ruby swift]

Highly recommended by Intrepid.

[ruby swift]

No preload

[leaden sapphire]

wait

[muted pike]

i am sitting in university for high speed internet to download it before going home haha

[bright ravine]

Technically you can have 8 xbars so 128 bound to just triggers+face combinations
I usually can keep what i need in xbar + expanded xbar so 32 buttons outside of basic controls

[muted pike]

until what level can we play in this early access?

[novel saddle]

Hope steam faster but last time I d/l game took all but an hour for me and that on fiber opt

[ruby swift]

25

[boreal tapir]

25

[coarse copper]

If i bought game on intrepid launcher, will i have to buy it on steam also?

[novel saddle]

@coarse copperno

[ruby swift]

No, just link your account to Steam under Account Settings

[river ore]

link ur acc

[muted pike]

ok ty for answers guys have fun on launch

[edgy glen]

when can we download?

[ruby swift]

2 hours 15

[lyric vortex]

when it releases

[boreal tapir]

No just link account

[novel saddle]

@coarse copperuninstall link acc to steam then look in your steam games list it should show up there then wait till 10am

[smoky rock]

Are pre-downloads going to be available on Steam? If not, i can foresee Steam struggling, if everyone is attempting to download at the same time.

[chilly forge]

an1 knows where are servers located?

[novel saddle]

Ohio I heard

[lyric vortex]

No, Steam does not allow for pre download (or purchase) of early access titles

[iron sluice]

Is it necessary to uninstall the version played using the launcher?

[chilly forge]

I mean US and EU only?

[edgy glen]

really?

[twin holly]

its recommended

[ruby swift]

Highly recommended.

[rough quarry]

Wonder how the ping will be from Australia 🤔

[proud ridge]

I gonna look at it. which one? you men that yesterday with streamers?

[bright ravine]

Steam can handle this, for them it's no different from short preload period

[unreal oasis]

Lots play from there, but it's not amazing

[zinc hull]

yeah the streamers one

[ruby swift]

Plenty have reported over the years that it is fine. Also depends on your local ISP a lot, cause apparently some of them suck in OZ

[sour river]

Do i need to uninstall the launcher and redownload thru steam?

[chilly forge]

am I going to be able to choose the server to connect?

[twin holly]

i sit at 180-230 but it doesnt feel like that, can still hit all interupts blocks etc

[ruby swift]

Yes, highly recommended.

[bright ravine]

Yes, there is 6 total

[ruby swift]

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402749120787-How-to-uninstall-and-remove-all-files-for-Ashes-of-Creation-Alpha

[chilly forge]

all in us?

[novel saddle]

good luck all here hoping things go well at 10am I am off to mow the lawn and few honey to do things before the long day of grinding

[sour river]

Okay thanks

[bright ravine]

Half EU

[chilly forge]

any plans for SA servers in the future?

[buoyant seal]

If we linked our Intrepid account to Steam, will we need to reinstall the game in the steam directory? Can we copy over any settings files from Intrepid folder if so?

[coarse copper]

there will be game time?

[ruby swift]

None announced. The only regions guaranteed for "live launch" are NA, EU, and OCE/SEA. That is not to say they won't add them, just that is what they have confirmed so far.

[bright ravine]

Keeping old files is risky
Configs might be safe depending if they changed them

[ruby swift]

Not during early access, after launch the game is sub based, no box cost

[boreal tapir]

Its recommended to start over with a fresh steam install

[ruby swift]

They have said that they were not able to get the configs to work and you can break your client if you try to transfer them. Do as you like, but if you sitting with a busted client waiting on support, going to be frustrating.

[rough quarry]

As much as I want OCE severs if it’s anything like Final fantasy online they die out pretty quick unfortuneatly hopefully ashes gets some wow level success

[river ore]

scam

[dapper lotus]

What hour does the game come to EA for europe?

[uncut quest]

how many players to a server?

[bright ravine]

So they did change configs
Ignore me, I made my statement based on general knowledge of how those work.
Personally i purged everything cause my configs were bit broken anyway xD

[twin holly]

roughly 7pm, give or take abit , its 2 hours 7 mins from now

[boreal tapir]

^

[cerulean star]

so we need to purchase to play the game?

[daring beacon]

Shit and no Game to download

https://tenor.com/view/tojás-billiárd-gif-19803891

[bright ravine]

If you don't own it already then yes

[woven nexus]

If im not wrong
Release time: <t:1765476000:F>
Countdown: <t:1765476000:R>

[ruby swift]

Yeah, there is a lot of information floating around various places, easy to miss various updates right now.

[daring beacon]

So no predownload

[boreal tapir]

No

[ruby swift]

Nope, everyone races in 2 hours

[edgy glen]

so lame

[daring beacon]

Nice then lets the serverscrash i will say

[shy bloom]

what is the average time for ppl to download 100gb???

[bright ravine]

The first act of large scale PvP will be hogging Steam download bandwidth xD

[woven nexus]

It cant be worst than Aion 2 :p

[shy bloom]

30 minutes??

1hr?? 🙁

[molten tree]

How much will the game cost?

[daring beacon]

I think i the Post says 120gig

[ruby swift]

$42.49 till Xmas on Steam

[twin holly]

taking it at 100gb as example and 1000 down ( so 100Mbit) 2h13mins if going full speed whole time

[icy wasp]

Excuse me, as a first time player (Steam) can we pre-download? I really love that nifty feature of Steam.
Also, will the game cost more after Xmas (Steam) ?
Thank you

[bright ravine]

Steam only offers that feature to full release titles
This is Early Access

[ruby swift]

No on preload. $49.99 after Xmas

[icy wasp]

Thanks guys

[supple zenith]

What names of eu servers will be?

[bright ravine]

Lotharia, Pelune Tenok

[unkempt flint]

is it free download on steam?

[lyric vortex]

Steam does not allow for pre-purchase or pre-download for Early Access titles.

[fathom geode]

anyone know how many gigs the install is?

[bright ravine]

No

[ruby swift]

No. $42.49

[bright ravine]

At least 120 unpacked

[twin holly]

old launcher files was around 130gb,steam could compress it maybe who knows

[nimble ocean]

hholyy

[ruby swift]

Their only guidance was "big" Most guess around 130

[bright ravine]

Welcome to UE xD

[buoyant seal]

no mention of removing C:\Users%Userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\EasyAntiCheat, anyone know if we should be removing this as well?

[twin holly]

itll just reinstall with steam anyway im pretty sure

[nimble ocean]

UE is dogwater tbh

[slim gust]

For those that have not purchased a previous alpha, but have an ashes account, and don't see the steam link option, is that intended?

[bright ravine]

If they dont mention it then is prolly fine
EAC is not in alpha stage xD

[buoyant seal]

I figured, but didn't want potential file conflicts

[ruby swift]

I would go with what they got there. People have caught bans for trying to remove EAC while playing, either intentional or unintentional. If you had no issues, wouldn't mess with it.

[twin holly]

EAC is usually good for that since it doesnt actually change much at all one its in a game

[bright ravine]

All engines have pros and cons

[round cobalt]

Will there be alot to do?

PVE not to much I’m guessing?

[bright ravine]

The only engine that is perfect for you is one that you make yourself specifically for given task
Ofc that takes work and time

[ruby swift]

Try it and find out. People tend to focus on a single issue that is important to them and miss the forest for the trees.

[round cobalt]

Wha

[west meteor]

Are artisan skills limited to 2 gm 3 master and all that yet?

[ruby swift]

Yes, has been in for a while

[buoyant seal]

anyone who played last PTR build know if the new starting area got fleshed out, or is it still less desirable than Riverlands?

[bright ravine]

There for sure will be pve but be advised that the most exciting pve content they have shown will flag you for pvp

[ruby swift]

If you have experience, go Anvils, if you are new go Riverlands

[night swift]

Hey guys, someone knows if i have to deinstall the old version and install from steam the new one or can i link that or something else ?

[bright ravine]

Delete everything

[buoyant seal]

I heard some things were not working properly in Anvils? buggy NPC's/quests etc though

[round cobalt]

Ah okay, I’m not a huge pvp fan but meh.. will see

[ruby swift]

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402749120787-How-to-uninstall-and-remove-all-files-for-Ashes-of-Creation-Alpha

[night swift]

cazzo 😄

[ruby swift]

It is what it has always been. Riverlands is more developed, Anvils less so. There are always going to be bugged stuff atm.

[fiery sandal]

Others having trouble creating a support request?

[bright ravine]

I also lean more towards pve but there are days (or people) that make me go "i choose violence today"
I like having the option xD

[dull grove]

Completely new to AoC. Will I find it enjoyable to learn the game or will I be ganked to death by experienced players?

[round cobalt]

I hope the classes aren’t overly complicated either, I wana play summoner

[lucid reef]

Do we know a time downloads will open yet?

[lyric vortex]

2 hours

[bright ravine]

Killing non-flagged people carries penalties

[odd estuary]

but I have meetings in two hours

[nimble ocean]

'just set game to download and go to meeting

[buoyant seal]

I think the potential for lag/server crashing on EA launch day is greater than you being ganked to death while learning the game

[round cobalt]

One hour from now

[bright ravine]

Looked pretty standard to me, will see what secondary archetypes will do to that

[lyric vortex]

1 hour 50minutes

[round cobalt]

Steam says one hour

[nimble ocean]

its one hour plus minutes

[bright ravine]

Steam only shows full hours

[round cobalt]

Lmao

Fun time

[lyric vortex]

because it is less then 2 hours

[round cobalt]

Reee

https://tenor.com/view/penguin-of-madagascar-gif-21075436

[buoyant seal]

it says "approximately" 1 hour

[dire nimbus]

How many gigabytes will the game weigh?

[abstract furnace]

can we update on interpid launcher yet or will there b a new patch after the times up??

[opal belfry]

Steam math is hard

[bright ravine]

At least 120

[noble oar]

it's like 30 minutes if you're strong enough

[round cobalt]

Massive gb

[ruby swift]

Gifs don't work here. That is for the regular channels

[lyric vortex]

120-130

[dire nimbus]

damnnn

okey

[fiery sandal]

Since I refuse to use Steam due to a past unresolved financial issue with them, and the alpha is now Steam-only, am I basically out of luck and losing the money I paid for access?

[twin cloak]

most people won't kill you outright
if they hit you and see that you don't fight back (not hit them) they'll leave without killing you
at least for me, who enjoys open world pvp like that, is what I do. I open on them and see if they respond, and if not, i just find someone else
so you might get hit from time to time, but I doubt many people will just randomly kill you

[dire nimbus]

there are anyomne that have this class list but in spanish?

[bright ravine]

Yup

[noble oar]

Could probably chatgpt this

[twin holly]

make new stean account purely for ashes, link that to your ashes account, problemo solvered, otherwise pretty much boned

[abstract furnace]

wait intrepid launcher no longer works?

[ruby swift]

Yes, file a CS ticket and explain your situation. Maybe they will take pity on you. Good luck.

make sure you disable any adblockers or browser addons, or try another browser, those could be the reason why it's not working

[ruby swift]

Then you should DM a CM and see if they can help you. Anything account related goes through CS, though CM can escalate issues they find merit it.

No, but some have tried to get it to work. Not supported.

[zealous condor]

I get that, but i'd have to work out my time to PST if someone didn't say the time lol

[viscid hound]

Hey guys! 🙂

Can i run the game ok? At least on low or medium?
My CPU:

[sleek sapphire]

Check the steam page. It will tell you when.

[hollow juniper]

Anyone have a rough idea of how many hours of pure questing content there is in the game rn? From what I understand, levels 1-10 are pretty fleshed out.

[dire nimbus]

mmmm yeahhhhh

[lyric vortex]

not really, steam says approx 1 hour

[cosmic fjord]

nice now i know exactly when the servers are going to crash

[ruby swift]

Intrepid often links an auto converter.

[buoyant seal]

check steam page, it lists system requirements

[fallow jolt]

It dont usually work on my end

[dire nimbus]

there are anyone with spanish guild?

[ruby swift]

10 am pst. It hasn't changed. Steam only gives the latest hour. It will be 1 hour 43 min from now

[twin holly]

1-10 is fleshed out well but after that theres not much yet

[sly moon]

why si there no laguage seperated channels lol

[valid torrent]

19h CET

[lyric vortex]

Oh, I know, i jsut told him that steam is not "accurate"

[ruby swift]

Go to #read-me-first and follow the steps.

[sleek sapphire]

ya apparently its bad at rounding sheesh.

[obtuse roost]

hey. guys new here should i go rouge or fighter ?

[ruby swift]

If you language isnt listed, it isnt supported here.

[lyric vortex]

Yes

[buoyant seal]

[lyric vortex]

[fallow jolt]

Damn i was suppose to go in for over time today if i was using my head id have gonr in last night like originally planned but i didnt know it was already the 11th

[verbal nova]

is ash od C gonna be free to play or we have to pay for it ?

[valid torrent]

Whatever u like the most

[ruby swift]

$42.49 on Steam till Xmas. $49.99 after that

[lyric vortex]

pay to play now, or free with subscription at release

[mellow solstice]

Deep breaths people

[buoyant drift]

what time is release?

[silver topaz]

Hello ptr nerds, does anyone have a good idea of how much healing throughput summoner is capable of compared to cleric or even bard? Id assume less but curious to hear directly from people whove played with them.

[fallow jolt]

Anyone play legacy steel and sorcery? Wanna duo or trio while we wait

[feral minnow]

Do I have to have an interprid account to get it from steam?

[mellow solstice]

you'll all know what is work in a couple of hours

[ruby swift]

10am PST

[buoyant seal]

you've got some time till EA launch, check out some YT vids of the classes, there are tons of them, see what interests you

[buoyant drift]

ty

[round cobalt]

Are the 64 class thing being added today?

[west meteor]

You’ll have to make an account and link it with steam after you buy it

[latent willow]

We cant pre-download game...? And from now its only in steam?

[ruby swift]

No, wont even be touched till end of Q1

[obtuse roost]

i did i like fighter but some vids suggest its not the best class but seems fun and good class

[sleek sapphire]

probalby better to ask this in a discussion channel, since this is a bit of a convo. You will get better answers there. https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/256164085366915072

[ruby swift]

Base 8 are in

[verbal nova]

how to get subcriptriton lol i never joined the beta or anyuthing but i seen videos of it

[ruby swift]

There is no sub atm. That comes after live launch. One time cost till that happens is $42.49 atm

[sleek sapphire]

It will be available on Steam. If you search for it, you will find the page. It will tell you all the details.

[lyric vortex]

subscription is only when full release.

[desert hound]

is there any difference between alpha 2 and EA? or is the game in the exact same state as alpha 2?

[silver topaz]

thank you sweet prince

[lyric vortex]

Early acces IS Alpha 2

[twin holly]

same thing just steams label is early access

[verbal nova]

thank you guys gonna look into it rn

[fallow jolt]

There will be new stuff

[round cobalt]

Is the scaly race out?

[ruby swift]

Steam does not have alpha and beta designations, so they were forced to call it early access. Right now it is still "alpha 2"

[west meteor]

Not yet - they aren’t planned until late next year or early 2027

[buoyant seal]

the actual game launch is at least a year off (most likely more) and progress will be wiped before that, so most people use this time to test the different classes and see what they like. If fighter looks fun to you, go for it! Worst case scenario, you find out it's not for you, and you can reroll another class

[round cobalt]

Omg lol

[west meteor]

Yea idk what’s taking so long lol

[river ore]

does the races affect gameplay

[round cobalt]

They look cool af

[feral minnow]

So I buy it from steam and then what?

[round cobalt]

Do you guys think this game will make it to launch?

[charred vault]

Which eu server has the most active

[ruby swift]

You download and enjoy

[obtuse roost]

yea true. thanks for info brother

[west meteor]

Nope - all races can be all classes and use all gear types and all weapons. Play what you want

[fallow jolt]

I swear i thought they were going to do the first couple main classes tank and healer?

[round cobalt]

Keep hearing rumors of it will siphon funds and drop lol..

[river ore]

thanks !

[west meteor]

I think once you download the game and click play it will start the intrepid launcher which will then prompt you to sign in to an intrepid account

[feral minnow]

Don't have to link it with anything anywhere?

[midnight heath]

Anyone know if combat pets will be added in or is that idea scrapped? Seemed interesting with the horizontal scaling concept and proper training.

[feral minnow]

Okay

[ruby swift]

Plans change. The "cleric and tank augments first" information may be outdated.

[merry shale]

new skins in the intrepid shop will they be available in game today

[ruby swift]

They haven't said, but most likely.

[round cobalt]

Will there be a lot of earnable mounts?

[fallow jolt]

Ah ok fair enough

[buoyant seal]

the intrepid launcher is no more apparently
https://ashesofcreation.com/news/early-access-guide-for-december-11-333
" You will no longer use the Intrepid Launcher, as that will be deactivated, and you will install fresh via Steam. You can now uninstall the Intrepid Launcher."

[round cobalt]

I love mount collecting

[west meteor]

Nothing confirmed but they were leaning towards dropping em

[ruby swift]

Yes

[round cobalt]

How many you thinking?

[fallow jolt]

Dude needs a raise

[midnight heath]

Aww. That's heartbreaking.

[round cobalt]

Like 50mounts or like 100+? lol

[west meteor]

There’s still cosmetic pets that you can breed with animal husbandry but they don’t fight obv

Not currently in but eventually will be

[ruby swift]

Depends on if you mean skins or actual mounts. There are already a couple hundred unique skins, but those are just variations of mounts in game that you can get.

[spring dome]

so we need wait 1 hour to buy ashes ?dont know how to buy it

[midnight heath]

Yeah, that sucks, oof.

[ruby swift]

1 hour 35

[potent thunder]

Ashes of Creation Alpha Two will be on Steam Early Access starting December 11, 2025, with wishlisting available now!

Check the article and FAQ, including how to link your Steam account here: https://ashesofcreation.com/news/ashes-of-creation-is-coming-to-steam-330

[round cobalt]

Holy f hundreds of skins that are actually earnable?

[pseudo knoll]

waaattt
Look how many pp here

[near grotto]

Which server in NA are Spanish speakers going to choose?

[buoyant seal]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4124950/Ashes_of_Creation/

[pseudo knoll]

NA and Spanish at the same sentence

xD

[ruby swift]

No, exclusives sold already. There are some non exclusive on the store. There are also others earnable in game.

[round cobalt]

Oh.. so most of it will be in the store.. bummer

[near grotto]

It doesn’t have to be that way. The fact that the U.S. and Canada are in NA doesn’t mean people there speak Spanish. NA servers can still have Spanish-speaking communities if enough players pick the same one.

[round cobalt]

I love collecting mount variations and looks by playing..

[lyric vortex]

Not that weird, Mexico is NA, and half the USA is sspanish speaking immigrants 😄

[vivid imp]

Hi. Will there be ASIA server? Where will we connect if we are from SEA?

[twin holly]

NA , no SEA or oce till at least beta and thats still unconfirmed

[lyric vortex]

Most likely better NA

[gray dirge]

Half is a stretch

[ruby swift]

No, there is meant to be parity. Please read this and maybe it will become clearer to you what is intended here concerning mounts, husbandry and how it all works. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Mount_skins

[lyric vortex]

It is

[buoyant seal]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Cosmetic_skins
lots of info there, not all skins come from shop, some can be obtained in game

[waxen bluff]

32 min?

[sterile kettle]

How much is the early access on steam

[robust pine]

So why we still can not buy game for now and download ?

[lyric vortex]

1h 32min

[ruby swift]

Because it is not yet 10am PST

[leaden sapphire]

I think eventually we get breeding and such, just not yet

[waxen bluff]

dang'

[near grotto]

$42.49 USD

[frail tulip]

Hm

[robust pine]

so early download is not open ?

[jagged cobalt]

Hello,

I wanted to ask if it’s known which EU server the Germans will be gathering on.

Kind regards

[frail tulip]

How many people we expect to play the first day on steam

[ruby swift]

correct

[quiet snow]

Steam said Noon this morning EST. has this changed?

[sterile kettle]

Did they decide against the stupid subscription model?

I don’t want to buy the game every month

[quiet snow]

Subscription is the best way to go

[ruby swift]

No, and Intrepid lists their time as 10am PST.

[gray dirge]

Sub model is the best model

[midnight heath]

Really hope they try to take a crack at the combat pets or at least through the summoner class. I like the whole "you have to sacrifice your stats to have them" sort of thing.

[lyric vortex]

Steam policy does not allow for pre-purchase or pre-download of Early Access titles.

[sterile kettle]

It is the best model not for your pocket

[hushed merlin]

Is there a specific way to level up fastest, or is it just following campaign/quests?

[quiet snow]

how much you spend at starbucks everyday?

[ruby swift]

There are many ways to level

[twin holly]

forgot i was in questions xD, grind and grind

[sterile kettle]

Will early access progress be saved?

[gray dirge]

Missed your 2nd msg yeah for us it’s not the best

[bright ravine]

Sub is the most honest model

[round cobalt]

Some meaning a much smaller amount I’m guessing though

[lyric vortex]

Steam is rounding down, so if it is 1h59min, steam will say approximately 1 hour

[sterile kettle]

Buying starbucks for your coffee is how you go broke

[ruby swift]

For most it is probably "how much to you make working there?"

[fast monolith]

quest to lvl 10 then you have to grind the rest of the way killing mobs. lvl 25 cap right now

[twin holly]

saved up until a wipe is critically needed and if none needed saved till full 1.0 release wipe

[near grotto]

I think it will be between 300k and 600k.

[buoyant seal]

no

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-2#Alpha-2_server_wipes

"All Alpha and Beta server realms will be wiped prior to launch"

[sterile kettle]

So basically you get a headstart?

[fast monolith]

thats not even possible theres only 6 servers right?

[sterile kettle]

Good

[bright ravine]

Nope

[frail tulip]

Thats alittle too much for the servers

[near grotto]

No, they didn’t change it. The game will still use a monthly subscription after launch. What you’re buying now only includes some game time, but once that runs out you’ll have to pay the sub if you want to keep playing.

[twin holly]

nah when they full release the game it will be wiped fresh, but up until then its saved

[lyric vortex]

6 at launch, more added if needed

[proud ridge]

Where i can find ahses logo ? i did not in the "Media" window..i need for thumbnails

[ruby swift]

If you like purely questing you can ride that pony currently all the way to 16 according to QuestingCodex last I saw. There are plenty of quests. Many are buggy and may not work. Do a mix of stuff if you don't like one thing. Do another.

[midnight heath]

It sounds like the game will be in early access for a WHILE, since not even all the subclasses are in yet.

[cunning pawn]

we get info on how to do referral with steam yet or dev still in panik mode?

[stable dove]

load a yt video, grab it from there, with a little editing you'll have your logo

[lyric vortex]

I would assume 2 years, might be more, might be less

[slow blade]

at least a year, they are planning betas next year

[ruby swift]

Watch the latest Esfand interview. Steven goes over what he considers essential for MVP launch (minimim viable product)

[near grotto]

Yeah, maybe it’ll be like Fortnite, which stayed in early access for almost 2 years xD

[lyric vortex]

Esfand 🤢

[ruby swift]

Or don't. Information is information.

[cunning pawn]

the game will launch when all of the people who remember past promises are dead, so that th game can be released as the poorly timed battle royale it was meant to be

[reef jasper]

How many hours till steam release ?

[hallow lintel]

POLAR joining Shol?

[lyric vortex]

Ill jump in blind!

[ruby swift]

From their posts, yes

[lyric vortex]

1h 25min

[hallow lintel]

1hr 25 mins

[near grotto]

1 Hour and 25min

[full bluff]

Will the early access have a base price + the subscription ? Or is it only subscription based

[reef jasper]

thanks ❤️

[buoyant seal]

if you are a content creator check out https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Official_Content_Creator_program
They are accepting new applications in Jan 2026

[lyric vortex]

sub only at full release

[near grotto]

Early access has a base price, and after launch the game will use a monthly subscription. The bundle includes some game time, but once that runs out you’ll need the subscription to keep playing.

[full bluff]

alright thanks !

[ruby swift]

Early access is one time fee only. Subscription does not start till live launch. Sub time is NOT used during early access.

[austere lake]

Hi ,Question
What do we get for buying the early acces ? like cosmetics and titles ?

[fading obsidian]

Who else is as hyped as me😈

[austere lake]

Longest 1 hour of my life

[near grotto]

You get Alpha and Beta access, a special cloak, and some future game time for launch. No exclusive cosmetics or titles besides that cloak.

[south flicker]

Would you guys say AoC is more PvP heavy or PvE as of now? Or is it pretty balanced?

[edgy gulch]

1h30min or 2h30min?

[cunning pawn]

what is pvp?

[hot crescent]

Planned Release Date: 11 Dec, 2025
This game plans to unlock in approximately 1 hour

[fast monolith]

pvp oriented

[ruby swift]

If you are buying now you get a cape cosmetic. If you achieve level 25 during early access you get a mount cosmetic.

[austere lake]

Thank you

however what's the fun in killing a low level / low hp person ?

[ruby swift]

Please don't bait or troll in Questions. Go down to the regular channels.

[swift cove]

so how viable is small scale in the game
or is it just RvR/GvG in end game

[twin crescent]

most obvious ragebait XD

[cunning pawn]

oh shit i thought i was in general, i misclicked. my bad

[lyric vortex]

Trolls need food to. But yeah, better go to regular channels, lol

[pseudo furnace]

i read ashes is playable via steam today, but theres no buy button yet

[ruby swift]

Today is going to be a busy day. Lots of new people needing help. Don't get timed out for release. Would not be ideal.

[lyric vortex]

1h 21min

[twin cloak]

1h30 to install

[pseudo furnace]

no pre-loading?

[twin cloak]

no

[ruby swift]

alright

[lyric vortex]

Steam policy does not allow for pre-purchase or pre-download of Early Access titles.

[glass coral]

est game size>? i think i have plenty but ye

[lyric vortex]

120-130 ish

[sullen relic]

how do i play? website takes me to steam, steam has no purchase link. but i can buy a frog and and a chair on their website

[ruby swift]

130 is common anecdotal guess

[pseudo furnace]

any idea how large the game is? might need to free up some space

[glass coral]

sick ty!

[buoyant seal]

from steam store page "STORAGE: 120 GB available space"

[lyric vortex]

1h 20min

[buoyant seal]

STORAGE: 120 GB available space

[minor jackal]

Why not spanish channel?

[slow blade]

120gb might be too small tho, on PTR game was 150GB

[south flicker]

Do we know max pop per server? 2 servers for NA / EU seems kind of crazy no?

[buoyant seal]

#read-me-first

[pseudo furnace]

also how do people know the price already i read somewhere its 42 euro and elsewhere its 50 dollars

[slow blade]

they told us

[minor jackal]

I did...

[lyric vortex]

it does not have spanish xD

[ruby swift]

The PTR client was at 130. They have just said "big" in their guidance.

[buoyant seal]

ah unfortunate ...

[twin holly]

$42.39 or something while on sale then $49.99

[silent robin]

mean I did delete the files like they described on their faq but I could find any game files to delete -.- how can I look for them now. did anyone experience something similar and has a solution to share?

[buoyant seal]

my bad, thought spanish would be there

[ruby swift]

Correct. They only support languages they have moderation for. They don't have Spanish mods available, so no channel support.

[sullen relic]

its noon est isn't it? thats 15 minutes.

also, i can't buy it until then?

[minor jackal]

Why not Preload?
Not PRELOAD for a heavy game is ANOTHER mistake, apart of being UNFAIR for those with faster/lower intetnet speed.

[sullen relic]

its not available, im looking for it too

[cunning vine]

thx alot for nothing old man

[lyric vortex]

It will become available in 1 hour 17 minutes

[pseudo furnace]

the download server is going to be hammered in an hour

[silent robin]

I did search for those folders but they werent there

[buoyant seal]

then you did everything you need to do

[zealous condor]

I've been out of the AOC loop lately... is this coming on Steam and staying open to play until release? Or just temporary for testing?

[slow blade]

open til launch

[silent robin]

weird bc I do not have more space on disk at least not the 100GB+ from when I installed it

[lyric vortex]

Steam page even says it. If you cared to read xD

[edgy gulch]

Will there be wipe after this open beta is done?

[slow blade]

game will wipe at launch

[ruby swift]

If you are starting to get stressed from answering Questions take a break. Best behavior today for all the new people.

[lyric vortex]

definately a wipe on full release, and possible more along the way

[bright ravine]

there is lots of reasons for why you might be missing space
I usually blame windows

[fast monolith]

I really hope the steam reviews dont go crazy but i fear they will

[gray crescent]

With early access releasing, are servers going to be continuous? I know there’s wipes, but up until release are there going to be weeks/months between phases where we can’t play?

[opal belfry]

The paths are wrong on the FAQ they should be this.

%Userprofile%\AppData\Local\Intrepid Studios

%Userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Intrepid Studios

%Userprofile%\AppData\Local\AOC

%Userprofile%\AppData\Local\IsolatedStorage

C:\ProgramData\Intrepid Studios

[lyric vortex]

The issue as always, the ones with issues will bomb it, the ones that enjoy it, will be ingame playing

[silent robin]

arent those the same

[buoyant seal]

recommend you grab a third party software tool like treesize to help free up space

[lyric vortex]

It should be up pretty mcuh all the time ,except when updates ++

[opal belfry]

Not the FAQ has C:\Users in the front.

[gray crescent]

Nice, ty, and is this release coinciding with a beta phase or an alpha phase?

[silent robin]

i was juzst wondering if anyone does have any filename from within those folders that I could use to run a seach on all of mc C space

[bright ravine]

which is correct
your AppData is under C:\Users

[ruby swift]

It is still Alpha 2. Steam does not do alpha and beta designations, so it is called early release.

[crisp holly]

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402749120787-How-to-uninstall-and-remove-all-files-for-Ashes-of-Creation-Alpha

[lyric vortex]

This is still Alpha 2. And it will work as a "PTR" when beta 1 and Beta 2 arrive, and will run paralell to those.

[silent robin]

There are only the folders not the files that should be within them

[toxic lotus]

game when?

7 or 8?

[timid rapids]

Where can i find the Ventrilo server?

[lyric vortex]

1h 11min

[lusty lodge]

7?

[ruby swift]

Correct. You are just checking that the first process did its job and removed everything. Cause in the past sometimes it didn't. If there is nothing there, as others have said, you are done.

[opal belfry]

The variable %Userprofile% includes C:\Users therefore C:\Users\%Userprofile% doesn't work.

[rigid eagle]

How much do we have to wait till they open it?

[lyric vortex]

1h 10min

[bright ravine]

ah yes, with that I can agree
they did a redundancy

[umbral blaze]

Which year is full release most likely ?

[stuck zinc]

why is steam not letting me play ?

[stray ice]

anione from Croatia, Bosnia or Serbia wanna play together ?

DM ME

[lyric vortex]

Steam policy does not allow for pre-purchase or pre-download of Early Access titles.

[opal belfry]

Then it's probably safe to say it has been removed.

[ruby swift]

No one knows, not even them. So it is unknown 😉

[gray crescent]

Thank you for the help and information team.

When are the beta servers slated for opening?

[bright ravine]

if you are worried get rid of the intrepid folders as well
it won't hurt you

[neat coral]

Anyone can still not reset password for account?

[bright ravine]

when I purged mine I just shift deleted folders and all

[ruby swift]

The last information give is they would like to have Beta start in 2026. But Intrepid is infamous for dates not getting hit for phase changes and such. So consider anything future as aspirational rather than set.

[silent robin]

yeah but I don't find these folders there -.- so I wanted to search for files on my drive and see if i can find the folders this way. Which apparently I am not good enough in english to bring across ^^

[desert juniper]

Is early access gonna be running until release?

[summer spire]

is there pvp leaderboards?

bringing the game to a major platform is also a form of advertisement
mmos live and die by their population
they always want more people to know about AoC

where do we download the game

it will early/mid next year

oh i didn't know that. i was hyped to play the Brood Warden lol.

[junior bolt]

Nothing changed with release time? o-o

[bright ravine]

I'd say we do not have enough information to use "probably" in this statement
and negative reviews are perfectly fine if you are prepared for them

[buoyant seal]

I refer you to No Man's Sky on steam as an example of how initial bad reviews in an early access stage don't really mean a lot over the course of years of development. That game was review bombed into oblivion at launch

pls no discussions on this channel anymore, #aoc-discussion #general-discussion

Im sorry im french and its difficule to find : when for download on steam ?

[errant warren]

Does uninstalling the Intrepid Launcher also delete the game files and such? Just trying to clear up for the Steam download. 🙂

[pseudo knoll]

I saw some (many) videos about all classes
Looks like one of the hardest class to play, but also OP

[pallid wolf]

Cant wait and lets hope the game gets the support and love it needs

[buoyant seal]

it does

[twin holly]

you forgot the most important one 🎣

[slow blade]

[pallid wolf]

My favorite pvp system ever is in lineage2

[nocturne helm]

im trying to keep it on the down low.

[pallid wolf]

They told me its similar

[jagged maple]

Wait does that mean 1 our time?

[lyric vortex]

in 50 minutes, any time

[slow blade]

yes, open world pvp with karma system is very similar

[brave wadi]

What are the portal availables and whats the difference?

[foggy yoke]

for large scale pvp what is the best class?

[runic onyx]

any recommended content creators to watch to learn about the game before starting?

[slow blade]

riverlands is the one I recommend, anvils is work in progress

[merry pilot]

play yourself is the best way

[slow blade]

mage/ranger/cleric/bards are S tier but all others are valid and useful

[warm estuary]

[tropic sandal]

This day has been so slow

[velvet vale]

42

[warm estuary]

It's fine

47 minutes & we'll be happy

[buoyant seal]

Steam policy does not allow for pre-purchase or pre-download of Early Access titles.

[smoky wasp]

thats bad :/

[slow blade]

42 bucks, localized prices

[boreal forge]

Do i have to unistall previous laucher and swap to steam or can keep?

[slow blade]

yes, uninstall

[buoyant seal]

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402749120787-How-to-uninstall-and-remove-all-files-for-Ashes-of-Creation-Alpha

[north solar]

You have to uninstall

[south pond]

The server should be UP at the same moment that I buy the game in steam? or we need to wait more time?

[boreal forge]

Ok thank you everyone 👍

[slow blade]

servers should unlock in 45 mins

[lyric vortex]

it "should"

[north solar]

Servers unlock at the next hour.

[buoyant seal]

Intrepid Launcher is no more

[lyric vortex]

I mean, you will never be sure anything is "on the minute"

[fervent maple]

It goes on sale in 45mins, what do you think?

[limber iris]

Capt. Obvious lol

[sturdy oak]

Oh, I was not aware. It's been a while now but was it like that for PoE2?

[buoyant seal]

steam store page
"Additional Notes: SSD required (Internal SATA/M.2) / May be more than 120GB"

[proud ridge]

how many servers will be avauble? South america server ? not now?

[foggy yoke]

[lyric vortex]

I think there will be a 23 second period for pre download!

[final cove]

I see. 🥹

[boreal tapir]

Do we have any notes on any performance enhancements with the new harbinger patch?

[edgy storm]

where are most aus/oce players going to play in?

[fast monolith]

literally no one knows

[foggy yoke]

ohhhhh is goin to be like a new thing

[worn quarry]

Are the forums broken for anyone else or is it just me?
https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/aoc-community-creations

[fast monolith]

yep

[buoyant seal]

increased web traffic most likely, all intrepid sites might be laggy

[timber tulip]

I think it rocks but thats a personal choice - if you like summoners you should like it and Im sure it will improve along the way - my wife and i had the most fun playing them the other night

[fast monolith]

getting ready for the reviews

[amber swallow]

creating an account on aoc site is enough to play on steam right?

[buoyant seal]

check this guide for a lot of answers to quesions:

https://ashesofcreation.com/news/early-access-guide-for-december-11-333

[neat plover]

which server do i want to roll on to dodge all the streamer morons?

[buoyant seal]

such servers do not exist 🤣

[toxic lotus]

is there a delay when deleting a character, or is deletion instant like in wow for example?

[dim inlet]

im assuming i have to wait til 1 pm to actually download it

[buoyant seal]

usually instant

[lyric vortex]

40 minutes, yes

[pallid wolf]

I need to cook before launch

[rapid pine]

no pre-download in steam?

[lyric vortex]

Steam policy does not allow for pre-purchase or pre-download of Early Access titles.

[dim inlet]

I feel like thats going to kill the steam download servers

[buoyant seal]

Steam policy does not allow for pre-purchase or pre-download of Early Access titles.

[pallid wolf]

Better

Lets crash steam

[buoyant seal]

oh you're back, I was borrowing your spiel lol

[dim inlet]

Im almost certain ive pre -downloaded other early asccess titles on steam

[lyric vortex]

I bet steam have had worse tbh

[shadow burrow]

This isnt the first hyped release by steam

[lyric vortex]

Semi AFK. tending a head wound I jsut got when I was outside, and fell on ice stairs, lol

[dim inlet]

Il just go play tft while i wait

[fading epoch]

is the vram issue resolved? I remember playing back in february and the vram leak was terrible, is 8gb enough now?

thanks if anyone answers!

[summer spire]

someone tell me why this game has so many servers? might die faster no?

[ember crystal]

if it survived poe2. i think it will survive this small community aswell

[shadow burrow]

so many?

[lyric vortex]

since when was 6 many?

[lethal reef]

any Londoners here

[dim inlet]

I feel like they arent going to have enough servers its an mmorpg thats becoming available to anyone who purchases it and its extremely hyped

[shadow burrow]

theyre prepared to add more.

[dim inlet]

I mean yeah that doesn't surprise me i played new worlds launch

[buoyant seal]

I remember that pain lol

[shadow burrow]

Which?

[brave wadi]

Bring back AoC Apocalypse Steven!

[gray dirge]

I’ve not had this issue

[dim inlet]

I played the preivew the week before, the beta, and then i played the beta and hte offical launch

[shadow burrow]

I remember Neckrage warning AGS, and them kicking him from the discord

[summer spire]

yes why na need 3 servers lol eu 3 servers is understandable

[ruby gulch]

what is the maximum cahracter count for your name, how long can my name be and can I use spaces?

[dim inlet]

I only decided to pick up AoC a few months ago because Im planning on playing this game regardless of when it releases because i love the mmo genre and from what i heard about the systems in this game i really hope they pan out

[ruby gulch]

more people

[buoyant seal]

no spaces, no special characters, min 3 letters if I recall. trying to bring up wiki but it's slow

[neon thicket]

is there a resource for educating myself on what server and moreso what starting gate i should choose?

[gray dirge]

With the streamers and their communities alone I won’t be surprised more are needed for the initial hype timthetatmans ppl filled New World in beta server up too with shroud and summmit and courage on the server

[lyric vortex]

NA will also accomodate SA and ASIA people

[buoyant seal]

if you are a new player go Riverlands, if experiened then you can try Anvils

[gray dirge]

Anvils is less new player friendly

[dim inlet]

I will say New Worlds character name requirements were cool where you could use spaces, it made it unique same with wow where you cant use numbers

[neon thicket]

thank you! but still, is there a resource i can read about the lands? i'm on the website and only seeing races and archetypes

[buoyant seal]

AoC naming policy is actually quite restrtictive in it's current form

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Character_naming

[buoyant seal]

the wiki is your best resource

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/

[idle ruin]

Czy gra pojawi się na Geforce Now ?

[summer spire]

ok then when hype dies then what population fried in a environment adaptive game

[neon thicket]

ahh yes, that's what i was forgetting! thank you

[worldly coyote]

So I got 2 questions, 1. How much will the game be on steam? And 2. Will there be fresh start servers with steam release?

[lyric vortex]

42.49 dollars? and yes

[somber yarrow]

It's $50 for early access?

[rapid olive]

Im sure this has been asked a million times but is there a set time for the release?

[buoyant seal]

If you have time to kill, I recommend planning out your alternate character names in a list now so you can try to get them ASAP.

[lunar raven]

anyone got the guide to unistalling the launcher?

[gray dirge]

They just merge servers easy fix Korean MMOs do it all the time lol

[shadow burrow]

On sale

[novel plume]

1 zero two is in fact bae.
2, 42.49 usd
3, Idk

[buoyant seal]

https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402749120787-How-to-uninstall-and-remove-all-files-for-Ashes-of-Creation-Alpha

[manic wren]

Will there be a character wipe & restart once its coming outta EA?

[buoyant seal]

yes

[dull grove]

Which US server is suitable for a complete newbie?

[proud ridge]

🇧🇷 ☝️ Quem for BR e vai jogar sozinho, quiser jogar no Resna, ou lyneth só falar. Eu to sozinho vou jogar de tanker provavelmente🇧🇷

[buoyant seal]

all the servers are fresh, so dealers choice

[dull grove]

I heard some hardcore guilds will be on Shol(?) so I'm trying to avoid that

[strong walrus]

HAPPY downloading and gl

[left willow]

can we change everything about character customization later on?

[foggy grove]

is there a US West server?

[regal yew]

anyone have any idea which server is best for english eu?

[shadow burrow]

I didnt realize Shol was a PVP server.. cool

[foggy grove]

so which one is located in us west?

[woeful viper]

anyone know when steam download is available?

[buoyant seal]

it's not officially

[ember kite]

What is the RP server

[slow blade]

lyneth

[shadow burrow]

Yea didnt really feel like it in ph2/3

[still wadi]

wasn't all servers supposed to be PVP ?

[buoyant seal]

none are specific to US west, but they did say "may release additional realms"

[buoyant seal]

the pvp system is possible on all realms

[small heart]

Do I link my steam account when I buy the game and launch it or is there something I need to do?

[stone snow]

Players will swarm Resna as its the new server, I think.

[hoary elk]

haven't been able to link steam with AoC yet. Any ideas? I'm sure there's some guide I missed somewhere but it doesn't appear on my AoC account settings page like the videos I've found indicate.

[slow blade]

its just the more sweaty pvp guilds deciding which server they will play and then they call that the pvp server

[still wadi]

got it.

[dim inlet]

i mean its wiped so i dont know if it matters which server is the new server

[buoyant seal]

due to how the karma system works, no servers are strictly "pvp" or "pve"

[dull grove]

Lyneth is new too isn't it?

[cedar mist]

How do you create a guild in game?

[slow blade]

all servers will start fresh

[slow blade]

you craft a guild scroll and deliver it to the guild manager

[left willow]

guys does anyone know if you can edit your char later?

[stone snow]

theyre all wiped fresh, but Resna is the new name

[toxic lotus]

which european server are the french people going to try to take over? (so I can avoid it)

[still wadi]

Yeah. For a second I thought there would be servers that dont allow PVP which obviously would be against the main design of the game

[buoyant seal]

depends on your definition of "new", it's not the first time a server with that name has existed

[drowsy arch]

probably been answered already but should i delete the non steam files for the game? what should i expect when it launches on steam?

[balmy ravine]

Do the servers get wiped after this one? or it stays?

[shadow burrow]

25 mintes

[steady anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/all-roads-lead-to-rome-time-rabbit-gif-9497165517404307883

[slow blade]

everything wipes for launch

[twin holly]

its highly recommended to delete the old files

[buoyant seal]

there will be wipe before official launch

[dull grove]

So only Resna is new "new" in that sense?

[buoyant seal]

Nope, Resna also existed

[dull grove]

I see

[grave thunder]

will the game run on linux?

[buoyant seal]

the game has been available to play in some form or another for several years

[compact wind]

when we start?

[slow blade]

yes, just make sure to have latest proton version

[buoyant seal]

25 mins

[cedar mist]

What do you need to craft it ? Lvl requirement?

[twin holly]

run yes , officially supported no so proceed at own volition

[raw marsh]

does anyone know the rough early access steam price?

[slow blade]

I think its novice, but I could be wrong

[shadow burrow]

42

[raw marsh]

euro?

[toxic lotus]

do we know what EU server will be the english speaking one?

[waxen bluff]

24 min?

[left willow]

Can you edit your char appearance later on?

[ruby swift]

$42.49 USD

[somber yarrow]

Never played this game, let's say I don't like it, refund is a hassle?

[slow blade]

its steam refund policy

[twin holly]

standard steam refund policy

[shadow burrow]

Steam refund rules

[worn spade]

pretty sure you'll get reagional pricing due to steam. Or some kind of conversion. Everything for me is in EUR

[buoyant seal]

steam refund rules apply if you are buying via steam

[earnest terrace]

On steam yess 2 hours play

[somber yarrow]

Oh nice, so early access gametime doesn't count toward playtime

[dull kayak]

when can we download?

[toxic lotus]

what EU server will be the english speaking one?

[pseudo crater]

Any delays announced already?

[ruby swift]

Correct, but I don't know what Steam has converted it to. So I gave him USD

[balmy sage]

Is it gonna be a monthly membership payment?

[terse flare]

will we have to buy it on steam even if we payed through there website

[west meteor]

Nope

[fresh knot]

Do ppl know about the 15dollar monthly fee to play the game ?

[twin holly]

not until full release in X amount of years

[left willow]

is there a character deletion time or name lockout?

[pseudo crater]

Great

[west meteor]

Sub cost only starts at launch. This is not launch.

[junior bolt]

There is no monthly fee during the EA

[grave thunder]

in EU maybe different 😉 steam has that xD

[shadow burrow]

Live release not ea

[west meteor]

Nope

[earnest terrace]

On the full realese yess

[somber yarrow]

when is full release anyway?

[ruby swift]

No, if you had a package with previous testing access, all you need to do is link your account in account settings on main site, then download top of the hour.
